Weekend for Good West Michigan

I had the privilege of participating in this amazing event recently. What is Weekend for Good? Here are the deets from their website:

"Every year volunteers who are experts in software development, design, and other fields are selected to gather for three days to donate their time and expertise to local non-profits. 

Code for Good provides workspace, food, coffee, and encouragement.

Our non-profit partners walk away with custom software to further their charitable missions. In turn, those non-profits create meaningful change here in Grand Rapids and around the globe."

I was tapped to come in as a copywriter for the weekend and met the most amazing lady. She runs a non-profit FREE bookstore in Muskegon, Michigan and her website and print materials needed an overhaul. I was able to create some pretty moving copy for her. Through this was a far cry from my more medical/technical writing, I found it to be a fantastic exercise in creativity.

With her permission, I am adding screen shots of the copy that was created to my website not just for the portfolio, but to also encourage people to check out this store. It's worth it.
